Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"real!"

Afraid that Shu Jiao wouldn't believe it, Liu Hongmei repeated it with a stronger tone.

"Red plum."

"what?"

Shu Jiao: "Go to sleep."

Don't talk anymore.

"Okay."

Liu Hongmei responded and closed her eyes, but she was so excited that she soon couldn't help but start chatting with Shu Jiao about the gossip in the village.

"Jiaojiao, do you know? My second uncle had an affair with a widow from the next village. They thought I slept with her that day, but I didn't..."

Shu Jiao: ???

Is this something you can tell her?

"Which widow?"

She couldn't help but reply.

"It's the widow Wang who lives at the entrance of the village with three children. My mother told me that widow Wang is having an affair with a purchaser from the city. They said that widow Wang has no choice because her three children are too greedy and she can't afford to feed them."

As she spoke, Liu Hongmei sighed, "It's really tiring for one adult to take care of three children."

"Oh, and Aunt Zhao's husband is not good enough."

After shaking her head twice, Liu Hongmei suppressed her excitement and spoke in a low voice.

Shu Jiao: ...

Who can resist gossip right in front of them?

She can't.

So Shu Jiao opened her eyes, "Ah? Which Aunt Zhao?"

"It's Aunt Zhao from Uncle Tiezhu's family."

"So Uncle Tiezhu can't do it? That's not right. Doesn't she have a son who is already six years old?"

If a person is not good enough, how can he give birth to a child?

Liu Hongmei: "It's not Uncle Tiezhu's."

Shu Jiao: "Whose?"

Speaking of this, Liu Hongmei lowered her voice, "It's Uncle Tiezhu's brother's child. My mother said that Aunt Zhao was so angry that she went back to her parents' home to live for a while, and then Uncle Tiezhu's whole family went there and took the child back."

"It seems that a lot of food and money were given to Aunt Zhao's family..."

Shu Jiao: "Do you think this is good?"

"No, but... Hey~ We outsiders can't stop the two families from being willing to do so."

Liu Hongmei was also helpless.

After all, it comes down to three words——

no way!

Which woman would be willing to do this? After all, everything is a minor issue in the face of survival.

“These past two years have been pretty good.”

Liu Hongmei wrinkled her nose. "My mom told me that it was even worse during the famine years."

The room was quiet for a few seconds.

"At least we are still alive, so we should look forward."

Shu Jiao suddenly chuckled, "Hongmei, what kind of life do you want to live in the future?"

"me?"

Liu Hongmei really thought about this question. "I have never thought about it before. My mother said that she will arrange a match for me next year. I want to marry someone from the city and eat commercial grain."

What a simple wish.

Shu Jiao found it difficult to describe her thoughts, but suddenly she thought that this seemed to be the thoughts of most village girls nowadays.

Shu Jiao: "Do you want to go to the city to work as a worker?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Liu Hongmei's tone became excited. "I heard that apprentices in the city earn 18 yuan a month. If I exchange it for food, I will be full every meal."

"And if I could become a worker, my parents would be so proud and could show me off three times a day!"

Too bad she couldn't get in.

It's not like before.

It’s hard to find a job in the city nowadays. Every job is filled by a different person.

Haven’t you seen those educated people who have graduated from high school and college, unable to find jobs in the city and running to their hometown to cause trouble... Oh no, are they coming to support them?

Even though they are not good at anything, we can still teach them a little more, which at least counts as adding some strength.

"If you were to get married, what kind of person would you like to be?"

Shu Jiao asked again.

how is it like?

Liu Hongmei blurted out, "It has to be nice-looking."

good good!

Shu Jiao smiled with relief. This child has good vision.

"Be gentle. The uncles in the village have loud voices. Every word they say sounds like yelling. And don't hit people. Otherwise, if we fight, we'll destroy our home."

What else?

Liu Hongmei thought again, "The family should be harmonious. My mother said that there won't be any bad people in a harmonious family."

"For city people, it's best to have a job. If not, we can both work hard on our own..."

She sketched out the image of her future partner bit by bit.

As he spoke, his face turned slightly red.

"Jiaojiao, which one do you like? Can I ask my mom to help you choose? We can get married in the same place in the future..."

Liu Hongmei said again.

Shu Jiao glanced at her in the dark and thought, should I not lead such an honest child astray?

"It depends on your liking."

Shu Jiao responded, "It's late, go to bed."

I could hear a hint of fatigue in her voice. I thought that Shu Jiao must be tired after walking such a long way alone today.

So Liu Hongmei resisted the urge to share gossip, shut up and went to sleep.

Wait till dawn.

Shu Jiao had a throat-piercing breakfast at Liu's house.

When the first bite came into her mouth, Shu Jiao almost couldn't swallow it. She felt like the grains were so thick that they could choke her neck for two miles.

too difficult.

Looking at the cornmeal porridge and the subtle-colored multi-grain steamed buns on the table, Shu Jiao was silent for a moment.

"San'er, prepare the rice and flour in the warehouse."

That's it.

She was not born to suffer.

If you have the conditions, enjoy your life; if you don’t have the conditions, create them and still enjoy your life.

Fortunately, the Liu family was in good financial condition and could help her cover up a little.

"Pfft...Okay...cough..."

003 swears, it definitely didn't laugh.

It's real, I feel sympathy from the bottom of my heart for its host sister who has fallen to this point!

Shu Jiao was too lazy to argue with it.

After breakfast, Liu Hongmei insisted on moving with her.

Just a few melons and a few dates, a thin quilt, some cotton wool, and a few sets of rags from the original owner's room were moved in two trips.

"Hey~ what are you doing?"

It was broad daylight and everyone was not blind, so of course someone saw them moving.

"Aunt Four, Jiaojiao is moving to our house."

"Does your father know?"

"I know. My dad asked Jiaojiao to set up the radio for our village."

As she spoke, Liu Hongmei leaned over and whispered, "It's mainly because someone was hanging around her house a few days ago. Fourth aunt, your guy didn't go, did he? My dad was really angry last night."

Fourth Aunt just glared at her.

She really didn't doubt Liu Hongmei's words at all.

This is also related to Shu Jiao.

The original owner had a very beautiful face and was often stared at when she first came to the village.

However, ever since the female educated youth from the neighboring village committed suicide by jumping into the river and killing two boys, their village has been cracking down on this practice very strictly.

But no matter how strict the crackdown is, it can’t stop those kids who have nothing to do and are restless, right?

"Definitely impossible. If my kid dares to do such a thing, your fourth uncle will break his legs."

As Fourth Auntie said this, she was thinking in her heart that she would definitely ask her own boy later...

No.

Let his father beat him up first, otherwise he will refuse to tell the truth.

As Liu Hongmei explained along the way, the villagers also understood what Liu's father meant.

After all, isn't it just about taking a bad guy home to supervise him strictly, and letting him work hard to reform and make contributions to the village?

We are all family, do we still need to report it?

Even if I report it, it's reasonable and legitimate.

Besides...
